Text on Image Buttons

Dec 20, 2007

Hi,

I really love the "new" text on image buttons, however I can't seem

to find any 4 panel buttons on the vast internet, and my artistic skills

are clearly not up to the task. Does anybody have some images they would

be willing to share? Thanks

Get.dll (www.mggen.com) has a number of 4 and 5 panel buttons and other

images that come with the download, even if you don't use GET. It also has

an image editor to ease the creation of 4 panel buttons.

Also, I put some 5 panel buttons out in the files section

(magic_msoffice_demo.zip) that emulate MS Outlook 2007. You can edit them in

even Paint and remove one panel to create a 4 button panel button.

That's good to know there is a button-image maker in Get.dll, I didn't

realize that. I'll have to check that out because it looks like I'm

going to need to make some.

I was trying to use text over buttons in Magic V10. I was able to use

some of the buttons from get.dll but others, and the ones you uploaded

recently, don't seem to work right, the images are scrambled in Magic.

When I look at them in an image editor I can't see any differences, they

look the same with images of all four button states side by side.

Any idea what the difference is?

Jean,

The buttons I created are 5 state buttons (Selected/Parked, Pressed,

Disabled, Enabled, and Mouse Over).

Most buttons in Magic are 4 state buttons (no mouse over).

You have to cut off the last state to make it work correctly.

Thanks Keith that explains it.
